Unlike other technologies, IoT (Internet of Things) is far more intricate, encompassing a wide range of core engineering disciplines such as Mechanical, Electronics, Firmware, Middleware, Cloud, Analytics, and Mobile. Each layer of its engineering involves aspects of economics, standards, regulations, and the evolving state of the art. This course, for the first time, offers a comprehensive overview of all these critical aspects of IoT Engineering.
Summary
An advanced training program covering the current advancements in Internet of Things technology.
This program delves into multiple technological domains to develop an awareness of an IoT system and its components, demonstrating how it can benefit businesses and organizations.
Live demonstrations of model IoT applications will showcase practical deployments across various industry sectors, including Industrial IoT, Smart Cities, Retail, Travel & Transportation, and use cases involving connected devices and things.
Target Audience
The course is designed for managers responsible for business and operational processes within their organizations who wish to understand how to leverage IoT to enhance system efficiency.
It is also ideal for entrepreneurs and investors looking to build new ventures by gaining a deeper understanding of the IoT technology landscape, enabling them to utilize it effectively.
Estimates for the value of the Internet of Things (IoT) market are substantial. By definition, the IoT is an integrated and pervasive layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that spans consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. The number of IoT connections is expected to grow from 1.9 billion devices today to 9 billion by 2018, roughly equaling the combined total of smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, wearable computers, and PCs.
In the consumer space, many products and services have already transitioned into the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking solutions, RFID technology, lighting and heating systems, and various applications in the Industrial Internet.
While the underlying technologies of IoT are not new—M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication has existed since the inception of the internet—the recent surge in inexpensive wireless technologies and the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets in homes have driven the current demand for IoT.
The vast opportunities in the IoT business have attracted a large number of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, contributing to what is often referred to as an IoT gold rush. The emergence of open-source electronics and IoT platforms has made it increasingly affordable to develop and manage IoT systems on a significant scale. Existing electronic product owners are feeling pressure to integrate their devices with the internet or mobile apps.
This training aims to provide a technological and business review of this emerging industry, enabling IoT enthusiasts and entrepreneurs to grasp the fundamentals of IoT technology and its business potential.
Course Objective
The primary goal of the course is to introduce participants to the latest technological options, platforms, and case studies of IoT implementation in areas such as home and city automation (smart homes and cities), Industrial Internet, healthcare, government, mobile cellular networks, and more.
The course covers a basic introduction to all elements of IoT, including Mechanical components, Electronics/sensor platforms, Wireless and wireline protocols, Mobile-to-Electronics integration, Mobile-to-Enterprise integration, Data analytics, and Total control plane.
It also explores M2M (Machine-to-Machine) wireless protocols for IoT, such as WiFi, Zigbee/Zwave, Bluetooth, and ANT+, explaining when and where to use each one.
The course discusses the development of Mobile/Desktop/Web applications for registration, data acquisition, and control, along with available M2M data acquisition platforms like Xively, Omega, and NovoTech.
It addresses security issues and solutions for IoT systems.
The training covers open-source and commercial electronics platforms for IoT, such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and ArmMbedLPC.
Additionally, it explores open-source and commercial enterprise cloud platforms like AWS-IoT apps, Azure-IOT, Watson-IOT cloud, and other minor IoT clouds.
The course includes case studies of the business and technology aspects of common IoT devices, such as home automation systems, smoke alarms, vehicles, military applications, and home health solutions.
